< Psalms 87 >
1 A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Wimbo. Ameuweka msingi wake katika mlima mtakatifu;
2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.
Bwana anayapenda malango ya Sayuni kuliko makao yote ya Yakobo.
3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God. (Selah)
Mambo matukufu yanasemwa juu yako, ee mji wa Mungu:
4 “I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”
“Nitaweka kumbukumbu ya Rahabu na Babeli miongoni mwa wale wanaonikubali mimi: Ufilisti pia na Tiro, pamoja na Kushi, nami nitasema, ‘Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.’”
5 Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”
Kuhusu Sayuni itasemwa hivi, “Huyu na yule walizaliwa humo, naye Aliye Juu Sana mwenyewe atamwimarisha.”
6 Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)
Bwana ataandika katika orodha ya mataifa: “Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.”
7 So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
Watakapokuwa wanapiga vinanda wataimba, “Chemchemi zangu zote ziko kwako.”
